Went bassin again with @jasmillo this morning, got into 2 good fish early on then a slow spell in between. Rain storm kicked up which seem to get the fish going and we got into good fish each at a dock stretch that have always produced medium fish before.

This was the hot fly until it got snagged on a underwater stump, then big heavy clousers carried through.

I have been fishing forever and never really targeted bass until the last couple of years. Even now, it’s only a handful of times per year because of all the options we have here in WA. I don’t know. Maybe a big mistake! Tiger Musky was the original target at this lake but the bass fishing is so much fun.

We did see a TM today that made me nearly shit a brick. What a beast of a fish. Fishing a drop off, I ran the boat with the trolling motor over a monster sitting on top of some underwater grass. I really want to hook into one of those.

That said…I am 100% content with smallies like this.

Two best of the day.

Nice bass’n! SMB are fun as heck and fight hard. Large mouth are lethargic in comparison though they also get fatter and easier to catch. I have respect for the smallies.
